Our good friends, Jon-Ryan and Christy Schlobohm, adopted Ethiopian twins last year – Moses and Elsabet. It’s always fun to take pictures of friends, and even more so when they have a brand new family.
JR and Christy waited so long for these guys to come home… I can’t wait to see who they become as they get older!
For more pictures check out their slideshow as well

I am so excited to be a part of the Thirst Relief International Mentor Auction this year to help raise money and bring clean drinking water to people around the world.
Nearly 2 million people die each year due to waterborne-related disease (90% of which are children under the age of 5) This is a staggeringly scary number, and we want to do anything we can to help fix such an easy to fix problem. Thirst Relief has come up with an AWESOME system for helping people get clean drinking water, a filtration system that flat out works. Definitely check out their website for more info.
The auction only has about 7 hours to go, so go to the auction page on ebay and bid asap!
The mentor session is set to take place in March at WPPI in Las Vegas. If for some reason you can’t make it to WPPI, I’m happy to host at my place in Santa Barbara in the next year, or over the phone, whatever works for you.
This mentoring session is wide open, if you need an hour or you need 2-4 hours, if you win the auction, my brain is yours for all the info I can provide. Let’s grab some food, a drink, a cigar, a comfy chair and dig in and see how I can help you move forward with your photography business.

A while back, Tim and I offered a free portrait session to any family who lost their home and/or photos in the Santa Barbara Tea Fire. We really wanted to give back to people who lost everything and the best way we knew how was with our photography.
The Martinich’s were one of those families and although we can never replace the pictures they lost, we were stoked to get them some new ones to display. Here are my favorite images from their session.











Also be sure to check out their slideshow
By the way, our offer still stands… anyone who lost their home/pictures in the Tea Fire or the Jesusita Fire, we would be honored to take your family pictures for free.

Matt and Wendy were married at the Resort at Squaw Creek in Squaw Valley near Lake Tahoe. With a little bit of weather the day before, the sun popped out just in time for their wedding, lighting the valley behind their ceremony beautifully.









You can see their entire Squaw Valley wedding slideshow here.

What better way to spend a Saturday in Santa Barbara with Cheryl than a hike, some yummy wine and cheese and then finished off with a bit of shopping then a movie on the couch at home!!
